I was out shopping for toothpaste , and waiting in line to pay…and I saw the headlines! OBL’s lifeless corpse on a morgue slab! The article said that OBL hadn’t been feeling well,and the doctors wern’t sure if he was suffering from AIDS or liver failure.
Well, I guess we can calloff the “War on Terrorism”!
Pass it on…Osama is dead!
It’s the latest fad, huh? They tried to pin AIDS on Arafat too. Sad.
What great news!
What paper did you say you read this in–the New York Times–the Washington Post? I guess it doesn’t matter.If it was in a newspaper, you know it has to be true.
Aids, eh? I guess camels carry the virus, too.
Last week, in line at a supermarket, I actually heard a man explain to his wife that anything that was published had to be true or “they” couldn’t publish it. I hope he was whooshing everyone near enough to hear, but I fear he was not.
If you recall, the WWN has been intermittently reporting bin Laden’s torrid affair with Saddam Hussein. Guess his guards ought to have Hussein tested for HIV, just in case. It’s be a darn shame if they both passed on.
yeah i heard this from my teacher, probably true
Well, they never did come clean about what killed Arafat. And some of his known symptoms (like rapid weight loss) do match the symptoms of late-stage AIDS. It’s not really all that far-fetched.
As for Osama… we can only hope.
Please tell me you are kidding.
On the off chance that you are not, you should see the thread we had recently about the astonishingly inaccurate crap that people have been told by teachers. I’ll see if I can find it for you.
Re: the OP – I can just see a bunch of shambling idiots at the checkout counter rubbing their hands (or whatever) together and saying “See that? I allus said them towelheads were a bunch of fairies!”
(My favorite WWN cover featured a post-execution picture of Timothy McVeigh. Problem was, his execution was delayed and he wasn’t even dead yet at the time of publication.)
Oh, and welcome, Trotsky!
